Test Specification TC7.TS01
Test Rationale
As the P2P Trading Coordinator is responsible for receiving the bids from the prosumers and send them back the internal price and is also in charge of managing the trading of energy with the retailer agent, this test seeks to evaluate the algorithm of the pricing module along with the performance of the communication module with the latter and the prosumers.
Specific Test System
Community-based P2P architecture
P2P Trading Coordinator architecture
Target measures
- Price signal
- Communication signals between agents
Input and output parameters
Input parameters
- Retailer’s price
- Prosumer’s bids Output parameters
- Internal price
Test Design
Optimise the internal price based on the Prosumer’s bids
Initial system state
- Measurement of input parameters
- Communication established
Evolution of system state and test signals
Evaluation of the algorithm response up to the calculation of the final internal price
Other parameters
N/A
Temporal resolution
It will depend on the price signal sample, which can be from minutes to hour resolution.
Source of uncertainty
Price value, communication delay
Suspension criteria / Stopping criteria
Detection of abnormal price values, communication failure between agents
